Smithy, you have my sympathies. Ours is just music, and as much as it gives me a really intense physical reaction (there's nothing worse than just hearing the bass and not the rest of it!) as we used to live near a leagues club and had similar until about 3am every Friday and Saturday night - got that fixed through the liquor licensing board... having to deal with the yelling and that sort of language day in day out - urgh!

We can't move - just can't afford it and getting a rental in Sydney at the moment is near to impossible - the demand is just so high at the moment!

BW and Smithy huge to you both. Home is sacred, and you shouldn't have to put up with that. But that's easier said than done. I am a great believer in 'what goes around comes around' and I'm sure these people will get theirs one day, but I hope it's soon for your sake.

KellyD - vent away. That is annoying, and I sympathise because DH jsut does what he thinks is right when I'm not here (he's never right and doesn't listen to me!) and I come home to a screaming baby when Adam is not really a screamer....DH just mis-reads the signs. On the up side, I feel grateful that he can mind Adam while I go an get things done, so I'm now trying not to whinge too much, but I know how you feel love. I now jsut try and be very careful in how I ask him to do things ie. try and make out it's his idea!

Saph is your little one bottle or breast fed? I've just upped the incline in linc's cot too. Hope this works as the only way he is sleeping is in the sling with a pillow under his head and one on the side so he's jamed in there, which I wont do when I'm sleeping for fear of him getting under something. I also baught some of those zip up suits which are working really well he's a real riggler and wrapping doesn't work real well. Those are some long long nights I hope you are getting some sleep even if you and DH do take turn sleeping. DH was doing that for me before.

Smithy great work on little bubs weight gain. Prem babes seam to grow quick my two nephews 6 and 7 weeks early and from 4 weeks over the 70% mark and still are.

Well it's week 6 for me and with all we've gone through I'm not sure I'll notice any change

BW I guess we only get so much luck

KellyD DH are somewhat dumb aren't they. Hope it all settled down.

ATM I love my mum. She let me sleep for 3 hours today. Linc was good for one sleep last night but was a horror for the other one. I know it's because he's so blocked up but geeze. i pulled him into bed with me and he was so so so fussy I ended up getting up. I don't think I can do the co sleep thing. I freak out and don't sleep I may as well sit up and watch TV.

Today he's been chucky. He loves lying on his back but only on the change table so I left him there a little long and up came brecky. I get so distressed when he chucks but he's happy. I guess I think "oh my you needed that food" but he went to sleep and woke 4 hours from when he woke last time. he is like a military alarm 4 hours from wake to next wake to the minute usually.

So as mentioned I've upped the incline in his cot again, not only did I take the front wheels off I now have a pillow under the top end of the matress and so far so good. He is easy to settle though and for that I'm so greatful, the sling or the fit ball and he's right to sleep. But when he sleeps flat even with the wheels of the cot he gets wind which wakes him up.

It's my 6 week check Wednesday and my stiches are still pretty sore, I've had AB cos two weeks ago they were VERY sore. Poor DH will have to wait a bit longer I think.

thanks for all your advice re poos, I'm trying a bit of breast milk atm. I tried something from the chemist and it did nothing. If no motion by lunch I'll try the prune juice but I do feel like he's so small for that.

Smithy do you use it every bottle? 2ml. just incase.

and as for the prune juice in every bottle NO im only useing it every 2nd day actually hun and only useing 1-2mls only a very small amount as i too am not fussed on useing anything to be honest lol.but hows this .... i havent given it to miss c for 2 days now and BINGO this afternoon OMG it was hell she could not poo she was sooo unsettled all day farting all day so had a big pain in the belly grunting her little head off tried to poo only to do a nugget as big as my pinky finger nail so i could tell there was a big build up then later on this arvo holey dooley did we cop it she screamed from pain grunted till she was red faced and did the biggest hardest poo ive eva seen,so for me she WILL be having the prune juice at least every second day from now on as the brown sugar-water doesnt seem to cut it for her,my poor little girl ..
i hope things start to look up soon darlin girl thinking of you heaps.

Hi girls

Well just heard back from the Child Modelling Agency this morning and they want to put Tara onto the books. They said she is very photogenic with her big eyes and pouty lips, it is nice to think that they find my baby cute enough to do catalogue modelling and possibly commercials.

So off to have her photo shoot done next Thursday and then it will take a few weeks to get her all up and running so we'll see how she goes. Thought I may as well give it a go while I'm at home and if she can earn a few $$ in the process that's a bonus.

Smithy: forgot to add Charlie is so cute and getting a real little chubby.. Gosh she so looks like Coop, no mistaking who's the daddy .
